"Healthcare is in crisis. While this is not news for many
countries, we believe what is now different is that the
current paths of many healthcare systems around the
world will become unsustainable by 2015." (from Executive summary)
"This report paints a portrait of what the global healthcare
industry could look like by 2015, but we fully acknowledge
that bringing this portrait to life is an extraordinarily
difficult task. Transformation is difficult, and there are very
few arenas in which stakes are higher and more sensitive
than in healthcare. All too often the status quo is not a
viable long term option and there are no politically-expedient,
quick fixes to challenges that are of the magnitude
and complexity of healthcare system transformation.
Successful transformation will require all stakeholders
to actively participate, collaborate, and change. Table
16 [shown in the report conclusion] summarizes recommendations by stakeholder to
collectively transform to a value-based healthcare system
with new models of delivering care to accountable
consumers.
"Healthcare transformation is an immense challenge. It
cannot be solved without a clear and shared understanding
of the severity of the problems and their
consequences, compelling consensus-driven visions
and plans, and the commitment of stakeholders who will
be called upon to work collaboratively with full accountability
over the years that it will take to fully realize them.
We hope that you will use our ideas as a starting point in
your transformation effort." (from Conclusion)
